= Midland Football League = The Midland Football League was an association football league tournament in Scotland that was contested in three different periods. The first incarnation of the tournament was founded in 1891 and ran until 1897 when most of the member clubs left to join the Central Football Combination. In 1903, it was reformed for a single season and again in 1908 for three seasons but was largely unfinished. All the teams that competed in the league were based in the Midlands of Scotland.

Original (1891–1897)
The original Midland Football League was established in 1891 and was contested by teams from the Midlands of Scotland.

A meeting in April 1891 in Larbert of eight club representatives led to the official league formation meeting in May of the same year in Alloa. The clubs that competed in the inaugural season were Alloa Athletic, Alva, Bridge of Allan, Camelon, Clackmannan, Cowdenbeath, Dunblane, Dunfermline Athletic, Grangemouth and Raith Rovers.
